<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 1303604, member: 1067"]Charity shop buy for £1. Did 1950s/60s base metal brooches have real opals set in them? Brooch is 60mm long, the ‘opal’ is 16mm long and 10mm wide. I’m not used to handling them, the opal isn’t as cold as stone but still cold. Doesn’t feel like plastic on my teeth. No hallmarks, the pin area sticks to a magnet though the main brooch metal doesn’t but I think it’s all base metal. Any info please? Thank you.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]219164[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219166[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]219168[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
